Transmission Network Planning in an Open Energy Market
The project defines new transmission network development planning methods
which would include an adequate modelling of uncertainty present in the construction
and utilisation of power generation facilities.
New organisational aspects underlining the electrical energy sector present difficulties
in planning of transmission and distribution networks. These are the result
of many uncertainties that are present within the process. The development of a
mathematical methodology and adequate software support are of great significance,
as it is expected that almost all thermal power plants owned by the Croatian
Electric Utility Company will be out of production in the mid to long term (especially
in the period between 2010 and 2020). They will have to be replaced by new
power generation facilities operating on fuels that, at present, are not known (renewable
energy sources, natural gas, water, coal, nuclear energy) and sited on locations
that are also, at present, unknown. It is necessary to adequately plan transmission
network development by modelling those uncertainties which are considered
most significant from the point of view of the development of the transmission
system within Croatia’s electric power system.
